James Te Huna

With close to 20 years in the fight game, Te Huna is a certified veteran of the sport. His first professional fight was in 2003 and would be the start of a 25 fight career. A true pioneer for mixed martial arts in Australia and New Zealand, his fan friendly fight style and impressive wins helped to grow the sport in a dark time. With 10 UFC appearances including a 5 from 6 win streak, Te Huna was one of the most feared power punchers in the Light Heavyweight division.

After retiring in 2016, Te Huna has stayed close to the sport, training young fighters, running seminars and starting motivational speaking. SMAI is proud to have an incredible athlete, ambassador and person on board!
